Re: Questions on funding/ folding a team

Matthew, if your team has students and mentors that are willing to roll up their sleeves here are a couple of suggestions: car washes and leaf raking. You might be surprised at how lucrative these can be. About 6 weeks ago, we held a carwash and raised over $800! We had 2012's robot out as a static display to help get the attention of drivers and to show a small part of what the students get out of FIRST. With respect to pricing your services, we ask drivers for a donation rather than a fixed price. We are usually surprised by the generosity of the public.

While we have not held this year's leaf raking event, last year we raised over $500. We prepared an informative leaflet and distributed it in the target neighborhood in advance of the rake up event. Just my .02...
